I have to admit that Bynum's performance in this year's playoffs is really clumsy, although he can average 15 points and 8.3 rebounds per game in the regular season, but in the playoffs where the defensive intensity has been raised a notch, Bynum's data in the first two rounds is only 9.8 points and 5.3 rebounds, almost a third of the shrinkage, and in this game he only got 4 points and 2 rebounds, completely suppressed by the Trail Blazers' interior line, such a player is not trustworthy. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Phil also knew that Bynum's performance made it seem foolish to promote him to the starting center, but he had been a little unrecognizable before, but now he decided to remove Bynum from the starting lineup in the next game and play with the bench. However, there is another problem, the Trail Blazers obviously used more flexible and agile tactics in the game against the Lakers' strong interior group, using speed to counter height, and from the course of the game, it did work well, and it was clear that McMillan would still use the same lineup and tactical set-up in Game 2 until he cracked it.

So what should the Lakers use against the Trail Blazers? Phil admits that the Trail Blazers' setup was very targeted, completely turning the Lakers' interior advantage into a disadvantage, and their players worked very hard, and in the end, the rebounding did not lag behind the Lakers much, which he did not expect. For a while, a famous coach like Phil also had a big headache, and he muttered while meditating: "Inside...... Velocity...... Inside...... Speed ......" suddenly his eyes lit up: Since the Trail Blazers want to use speed to target the interior, then why don't I use the slow interior line? Why not treat others the way they would be?

Phil did have two brushes, and instead of being as stubborn as he used to be, focusing only on his best tactics and lineups, he began to learn the best of his opponents and apply them to his own team. According to his thinking, the Lakers would have to outmaneuver the Trail Blazers, or at least match them, so they don't have to be afraid of the Trail Blazers' speed. However, the Lakers must continue to send interior players to consolidate the advantage of superior rebounding and secondary offense, and Phil is well aware that the Trail Blazers' interior strength is not that strong, especially when it comes to fighting for rebounds, which cannot be compensated for with momentum every time.

Do the Lakers have an interior line that fits his requirements? Of course there is, and that's Odom. Although this guy's height of 2.08 meters is the standard height of a power forward, since the Trail Blazers can put 2.11 meters of power forward Aldridge on the top of the No. 5 position, why can't Odom, who is only 3 centimeters shorter than him, be the center of the team? And compared to Aldridge, Odom is more flexible and faster, and his ball control skills and offensive range are also better than Aldridge's. At the same time, Odom is also a rebounding master, although there are still long men like Gasol and Bynum in the team, but he grabbed 15 rebounds alone in the first game of the Western Conference finals, which also proves his ability to grab rebounds, you must know that the Trail Blazers' Camby and Aldridge only grabbed a total of 18 rebounds.

As for the No. 4 position, Phil plans to use his favorite player, Walton Jr., who not only has a good relationship with Kobe, but also has a high ball quotient, and can act as a playmaker on the court, which can greatly reduce the pressure on the outside players. Of course, the perimeter player here means more Kobe, after all, Fisher has rarely taken on the responsibility of organizing the offense now, and usually he will take the ball across the half court and give it directly to Kobe, and he will run empty-handed on the outside, and hit a few three-pointers in the corner and at the top of the arc to receive the ball from the inside, which is what he should do.

Phil didn't hesitate to use this new set of starters, which he believes could cause huge problems for the Trail Blazers, who will have a hard time coming up with a response anytime soon. Indeed, it's like fighting a stronger version of yourself, which is also a run-and-gun with speed as the core, but the opponent is stronger in some ways, which is a tough test for the Trail Blazers. Although Phil thinks that McMillan can see his intentions at a glance, it is one thing to see it, and it is another thing to know what to do, and the former does not determine the latter, which is his confidence.

Indeed, as he thought, before the start of the second game, McMillan was stunned when he saw the Lakers' starting lineup, which is a lineup that the Lakers have never used this season, not to mention whether the starters are not starters, even in the game, they have never appeared such a lineup. The No. 1 to No. 3 positions are still the original players, but the No. 4 position Wharton and the No. 5 position Odom are very unusual, McMillan recalled the basic information of the two players a little, and then he was shocked: This is to follow the Trail Blazers to play run and bomb, and it is also a version of the inside strength of the run and bomb!

McMillan was so worried that he almost pulled his beard off, he didn't expect Phil to come up with a way to deal with it so quickly, although the lineup looked strange, but when you think about it, you have to admit that the effect must be good, and it just hit the soft underbelly of the Trail Blazers. How to win the last game McMillan knows that the small lineup in the face of the Lakers' strong interior line of course occupies a disadvantage, that is, the players are three military lives, only to fight a lot of rebounds in the Lakers interior group, otherwise the game would have been lost, but this kind of thing is difficult to do again, because the opponent will adjust the intensity of the game, and if this happens, the Trail Blazers players can go directly back to Portland to rest, because they can't recover to their best state for the rest of the game.

For the Trail Blazers, it is not a big deal for Wharton to play as a power forward, and although Batum is not as experienced as him, he can be said to be completely equal in terms of overall strength, and the only one who makes McMillan feel pain is Aldridge. This guy is not good at rebounding, he is a strong offensive and weak defender, although he moves fast, but no matter how fast he is, he can't be faster than Odom, who is known as the magic of the court, and the height of the big forward has the skill of a small forward. And Odom's ability to grab rebounds can throw Aldridge a few streets, it can be said that the Lakers completely plugged their holes while retaining some advantages, and they looked flawless, even if there were weaknesses, it was not something that McMillan would be able to find for a while.

But it's too late to say anything now, so let's continue to fight with a small lineup, maybe a miracle will be made?
